HISTORY
In 1940s Motorola developed a backpacked two-way radio,
the Walkie-Talkie and a large hand-held two-way radio for
the US military. The same technology developed further and produced the mobile phone that we know today.

Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola is considered to
be the inventor of the first practical mobile phone.
On April 3, 1973, Martin placed a call to rival Joel Engel, head of research at AT&T's Bell Labs, while walking the streets of New York City talking on the first Motorola DynaTAC prototype.

The first mobile phones, referred to as First
Generation or 1G, were introduced to the public market
in 1983 by the Motorola Company. These first mobile phones used analog technology which was much less reliable than the digital technology we use today.
Слайд 5
During the 1990s, great improvements were made in
the mobile phone technology. These phones used Second Generation,
or 2G technology. In 1990, the first cell phone call was made using the new digital technology that became characteristic of this era.
Слайд 6
The Third Generation technology, or 3G, is what
many people currently use in their digital cellular phones
today. This technology was created very soon after the excitement that the 2G technology created. This new technology is not only capable of transferring voice data (such as a phone call), but it is also able to transfer other types of data, including emails, information and instant messages.

The Motorola StarTac was the first phone in
the world with Vibrating alert function. It was unveiled
in North America on January 3, 1996. StarTACs remained popular until the early 2000s.

Слайд 20
Documents viewer: It is increasingly possible to view
documents on the cell phone, in the popular MS-Office
